HI wednesday peepers
I'm mixing my blog posts together this week as I dont seem to be getting anything done except blogging, how do you all find the time to craft and blog?,
On the left is the new book I had for my birthday, great for when I get time to experiment with 'stuff'.
At the back on the right is a lovely cupcake pin cushion Anne at work made me, again for my birthday.
Also on my desk this week is the remains of my grungy monday piece.
Linda ledbetter from studiol3. sets a challenge using the techniques of the fab Tim Holtz .
This week it is PERFECT DISTRESS. The first piece I made along with Tims video,(but had to keep pausing to 'find' stuff LOL), the colours were too similar so I made another one. I'm just getting into Christmas card making, so I thought why not?
The reindeer is from the Octopode Factory, I love their designs.
I was actually really please with the finished piece. The reindeer is really shiney, it looks almost like gunmetal. His nose is finished off with red stickles, just for the true rudolf look!!! Thanks to Vicky for the snow flake die cut, it is perfect to add a delicate contrast to the tag.
here's looking at you!

Funky Reindeer!
Interesting technique! The reindeer is fun if slightly bonkers-looking!! I will have to get a move on and get down sooner rather than later. See how much sells in the next two fairs...
Hugs, LLJ #43 xx
Love that reindeer!..lol Thanks for the peek and sharing, xoxo Marjo
Don't you just love that Octopode reindeer. I used him recently on a Christmas card. I've fallen in love.
Love the Octopode reindeer! Your tag card is great especially the contrast of the delicate snowflake diecut with that crazy reindeer!

Those tags are pretty wonderful and I really liked looking at your desk... looks to be a great mix of perfectly organised and perfectly creative ... happy WOYWW xx
Blimey - 'Surface Treatment'...sounds a very scarey and professional way to talk about what we do to card and paper!! Have fun with that. I agree about the snowflake die on your lovely tag - really adds a lovely delicate touch.
The technique really worked very well and I agree those snow flakes are beautiful Dxx
Well I had a good rummage round your desk and was delighted by all that I found ;) My mum has been sent on a mission to find me a good pin cushion for a Christmas present!
Loving your tags, and I know exactly what you mean about blogging/crafting. I can never get both done at the same time. I either blog hop, and don't have time to craft, or vice versa.Sorry I am late visiting, Blogger has been a real pain this week.
i do like octopode stamps - mostly because I don;t really like cute, I just wish we could find elegant and grown up stsmps too so I didn't have to draw every design I want to do for Christmas myself....that said hero arts often do nice stuff..
Oh my gosh, I love that reindeer! Awesome tag. Great job on this technique.
Cute tag!! Nicely done!
Thanks for playing along with us at Party Time Tuesdays!
This is the first week I have managed to get round every single blog - and I have done some crafting. I am so impressed with myself. but I am even more impressed with your work. I love the soft colours in that tag.
I am addicted to tag making these days. I love yours with all the layered stamping. Thanks for sharing your creativity this week at Our Creative Corner!
Great ag! (I love Octopode) Happy late WOYWWED!
Love those tags! My 'Distressing' techniques are getting better! Not been doing this style of crafting for long but i do like the freedom of it.
Happy belated WOYWW !

Love the distress tag especially... Happy belated WOYWW! Shoshi #84
Love, love, LOVE your little Christmas tag! You created the perfect icy look with the GM24 technique, and that Octopede reindeer is the cutest thing I've seen this week. This is beautiful and whimsical and completely delightful.
Hi there Janet not good at doing grunge myself but do love the first peachy tag! thanks for popping over and happy WOYWW, Shaz in oz.x
Oh wow you have been busy. Love those christmas tags.
We are going to arrange to see my brother. It's a 3 hour drive so hopefully one weekend as we work in the week. Thankyou for your lovely comments.

Adorable little tag! How can you go wrong when Rudolph is involved? That sparkly nose is full of charm. Thanks so much for joining us this week at Our Creative Corner! :)
